I also have to wrap the neighbor's baby gift (a little NEW one! SOOOOO cute born last Saturday), and decorate the Christmas tree. It's currently assembled and even plugged in but there are no deco's on it!

Yesterday I worked and cleaned out one of DD's toy hot spots in the living room - everything is now in a tote to be moved back to the bedroom and put away in her toy boxes.

Vacuumed a little in the living room this morning - probably not going to get much more done as I have errands to do today and have to work from 11am to 2am tomorrow so will rest extra today.

but my goals for today are:

pick up other toy hot spot in living room and move all items to bedroom
vacuum floor in the rest of the living room

So happy to have found this thread! I need some extra motivation today to get some major decluttering and organizing done. We're having friends over Christmas Eve and it's giving me the incentive to get some things done that I've been majorly slacking on lately.

I'll start with the dining room/school room... it's so unorganized. I don't know why I let things pile up like I do.

I'm going to join in too. Thanks for the inspiration everyone!
We found out on Weds that the new windows are being installed starting tomorrow - yikes!
Every room needs tidying, surfaces cleared, and furniture moved away from windows. We don't know what order they will work through the house.
1 - Major job is emptying my sewing room, and moving it to the basement (its becoming a bedroom again) but it was seriously cluttered and messy. Almost finished! Done
2 - Have to make sure all dishes are put away, so they can access the window over the kitchen sink. (Will do again tomorrow morning, and every morning till they are done in the kitchen!)
3 - Need to find sheets to cover bookcases/pantry cupboards that can't be moved away from windows.
4 - Need to declutter our bedroom - loads of laundry to put away, and the bureaus that are under the windows are totally covered in junk - yikes!

On top of that is the usual dishes, laundry, etc. Must get delicates laundry finished today, because I can't hang it all over the house this week like I usually do! Done I'm already feeling wiped out, and it's not even 5pm, and still so much to do today! Yikes!

Hi all, I'm jumping in to your thread b/c I totally need the reinforcement! I've done the FlyLady thing off and on for years but the dang emails are too overwhelming for me. (Or I get distracted and read a bunch of them for 3 hours!)

Living room:
Straighten living room (will most likely be 3 or 4 15 min sessions)
Sweep & dust living room
Put up Christmas tree (luckily it's a prelit tree and the kids will decorate it!)

Kitchen:
Dishes, dishes, and more dishes.
Declutter the kitchen floor (I have no idea how all these toys and dirty clothes end up in the kitchen floor!!)

*Pack up kids' suitcase - they're spending the night at grandma's!!*

Laundry:
Run 2 loads and put away today!

As I say to my dear friend, who is living with her hubby's family in a island in the Pacific right now, "Tag - You're It!" Then we both run and get as much done on our list as we can and touch base later.

I spent 30 minutes this morning cleaning the spot the tree is going to go - still need to do a lot more work to get it ready to set the tree up tonight.

Going to go work in the Garage while it's warmer and clear room out there for the things from the living room that I'm moving to set the tree up.

Aargh - I was really hoping that the window installation would motivate me to keep things picked-up around here. I didn't quite finish getting things ready, and now we have been told we probably won't get them done till Jan - so that's at least 2 weeks for everything to slide!
So, counting on this thread to keep me at it:
Tonight - finish dishes and sort laundry and get it put away.
Tomorrow - keep up with dishes and work on basement playroom.

Got our tree set up, cleaned a little and got halfway done with vacuuming and the belt broke on our vacuum. Can't afford to fix it for a good two weeks, so just going to have to make do as best we can.
